The wildlife and environment of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) are exceptional. The Territory has the greatest marine biodiversity in the UK and its Overseas Territories, as well as some of the cleanest seas and healthiest reef systems in the world. BIOT is home to the world’s biggest arthropod, the coconut crab, which can reach up to one metre across, with densities on Diego Garcia amongst the highest globally. The outer islands and atolls are colonized by internationally important numbers of seabirds, with many thousands of pairs of sooty terns, brown boobies and red-footed boobies regularly breeding there. Endemic species of coral and reef fish inhabit the c. 4,000 km² of shallow coral reefs, which also support over six times the amount of fish that are found on any other Indian Ocean reef.
This film is aimed at those working in or transiting through the British Indian Ocean Territory. In addition to showing the natural treasures of BIOT it shows and how those in the Territory can help protect and preserve the environment.
This project was made possible with funding from the EU BEST initiative, and is aimed at raising awareness on protecting species and habitats in BIOT.
BEST is a voluntary scheme for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in EU Outermost Regions and Overseas Countries and Territories. The BEST initiative seeks to promote the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of ecosystem services including ecosystem-based approaches to climate change adaptation and mitigation in the EU outermost regions and overseas countries and territories.

This mini-documentary explores the marine life of the coral reefs of the British Indian Ocean Territory. These reefs lie within the largest fully protected marine reserve on Earth, and due to their remoteness, they are widely regarded as the most intact coral ecosystem on the planet. The lack of commercial fishing allows the survival of the greatest densities of fish in all of the Indian Ocean. And the natural diversity is staggering, over one quarter of all reef fishes worldwide occur in the British Indian Ocean Territory, as well as endemic fish and coral species that occur nowhere else.

This UK Overseas Territory is home to unsurveyed waters, an unnamed island and the most pristine coral reefs on Earth. The underwater world of the British Indian Ocean Territory is like peering back through time to see a glimpse of the world before the impact of mankind. About one quarter of all of the reef fishes of the world live here. Unlike so many other parts of the globe, the reefs of the Territory are largely intact and represent the healthiest on earth. On land enormous colonies of sea birds abound; red footed boobies, brown boobies, sooty terns and many others. And in the forests that cover the island, there lives the coconut crab - the biggest terrestrial invertebrate alive today.

The Chagos archipelago, which is part of BIOT (British Indian Ocean Territory), was inhabited until the 70's, when the British leased the atoll of Diego Garcia to the United States to make an airbase.
See www.walkabout.it
The inhabitants who had settled in the archipelago since several centuries before and lived gathering coconuts and extracting the oil where , for security reasons were relocated and deported en masse in their islands of origin: Mauritius.
Currently, the islands were declared a marine park and thanks to their isolation is one of the few remaining untouched paradises on earth.

'Who isDiego Garcia?'
Diego Garcia - a remote paradise island. A population expelled. A massive American military base. And, part of Britain.
The story of Diego Garcia, part of the British Indian Ocean Territory, is little known by many people. We look at public awareness of Diego Garcia, how it came to stay in the hands of Britain, how the native population was expelled and why this all happened.
PART 2 HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf4c5j7LiZY

Indian Ocean

The Indian Ocean is the third largest of the world's oceanic divisions, covering approximately 20% of the water on the Earth's surface. It is bounded by Asia on the north, on the west by Africa, on the east by Australia, and on the south by the Southern Ocean or, depending on definition, by Antarctica. It is named after India. The Indian Ocean is known as Ratnākara (Sanskrit: रत्नाकर), "the mine of gems", in ancient Sanskrit literature and as Hind Mahāsāgar (Devanāgarī: हिन्द महासागर) in Hindi.

Territory

A territory is a term for types of administrative division, usually an area that is under the jurisdiction of a state. In most countries' terminology, such as the United States and Nigeria, it refers to an organized division of an area that is under control of a country but not formally developed into, or incorporated into, a political unit of that country of equal status to other political units such as states or provinces. In international politics, the term is used particularly in reference to a non-sovereign geographic area which has come under the authority of another government; which has not been granted the powers of self-government normally devolved to secondary territorial divisions; or both.

Types

Unorganized territory, a region of land without a "normally" constituted system of government. This does not mean that the territory has no government at all or that it is unclaimed territory. In practice, such territories are always sparsely populated.

The largest and most southerly island is Diego Garcia, 44km2 (17sqmi), the site of a joint military facility of the United Kingdom and the United States. Following the eviction of the native population, the Chagossians, in the 1960s and '70s, the only inhabitants are US and British military personnel and associated contractors, who collectively number around 4,000 (2004 figures). The islands are off-limits to casual tourists, the media, and their former inhabitants.

Mauritius sought to resume control over the Chagos Archipelago which was split from its territory by the UK in 1965 to form the British Indian Ocean Territory. Between 1968 and 1973, the Chagossians, then numbering about 2,000 people, were expelled by the British government to Mauritius and Seychelles to allow the United States to establish a military base on the island. Today, the exiled Chagossians are still trying to return, claiming that the forced expulsion and dispossession was illegal (see Depopulation of Diego Garcia).

Protecting the Environment of the British Indian Ocean Territory

The wildlife and environment of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) are exceptional. The Territory has the greatest marine biodiversity in the UK and its Overseas Territories, as well as some of the cleanest seas and healthiest reef systems in the world. BIOT is home to the world’s biggest arthropod, the coconut crab, which can reach up to one metre across, with densities on Diego Garcia amongst the highest globally. The outer islands and atolls are colonized by internationally important numbers of seabirds, with many thousands of pairs of sooty terns, brown boobies and red-footed boobies regularly breeding there. Endemic species of coral and reef fish inhabit the c. 4,000 km² of shallow coral reefs, which also support over six times the amount of fish that are found on any other Indian Ocean reef.
This film is aimed at those working in or transiting through the British Indian Ocean Territory. In addition to showing the natural treasures of BIOT it shows and how those in the Territory can help protect and preserve the environment.
This project was made possible with funding from the EU BEST initiative, and is aimed at raising awareness on protecting species and habitats in BIOT.

This mini-documentary explores the astounding seabird colonies of the British Indian Ocean Territory. The tiny islands of the Chagos Archipelago are havens for nesting birds, and a precious resource in the vastness of the Indian Ocean. Stewart McPherson was given rare access to visit several islands of the Territory to document the astounding diversity of birds that call this remote corner of the Indian Ocean home. In this film, we follow conservation efforts that aim to clear the islands of invasive rodents and coconut palms to allow the natural bird numbers to recover.

DIEGO GARCIA: EVICTED FROM PARADISE (PART 1/2)

'Who isDiego Garcia?'
Diego Garcia - a remote paradise island. A population expelled. A massive American military base. And, part of Britain.
The story of Diego Garcia, part of the British Indian Ocean Territory, is little known by many people. We look at public awareness of Diego Garcia, how it came to stay in the hands of Britain, how the native population was expelled and why this all happened.
PART 2 HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf4c5j7LiZY

The wildlife and environment of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) are exceptional. The Territory has the greatest marine biodiversity in the UK and its Overseas Territories, as well as some of the cleanest seas and healthiest reef systems in the world. BIOT is home to the world’s biggest arthropod, the coconut crab, which can reach up to one metre across, with densities on Diego Garcia amongst the highest globally. The outer islands and atolls are colonized by internationally important numbers of seabirds, with many thousands of pairs of sooty terns, brown boobies and red-footed boobies regularly breeding there. Endemic species of coral and reef fish inhabit the c. 4,000 km² of shallow coral reefs, which also support over six times the amount of fish that are found on any other Indian Ocean reef.
This film is aimed at those working in or transiting through the British Indian Ocean Territory. In addition to showing the natural treasures of BIOT it shows and how those in the Territory can help protect and preserve the environment.
This project was made possible with funding from the EU BEST initiative, and is aimed at raising awareness on protecting species and habitats in BIOT.
BEST is a voluntary scheme for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in EU Outermost Regions and Overseas Countries and Territories. The BEST initiative seeks to promote the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of ecosystem services including ecosystem-based approaches to climate change adaptation and mitigation in the EU outermost regions and overseas countries and territories.

This mini-documentary explore the wildlife of the British Indian Ocean Territory - seven huge coral atolls that include about 60 islands across a vast sector of the Indian Ocean. This UK Overseas Territory is home to unsurveyed waters, an unnamed island and the most pristine coral reefs on Earth. The underwater world of the British Indian Ocean Territory is like peering back through time to see a glimpse of the world before the impact of mankind. About one quarter of all of the reef fishes of the world live here. Unlike so many other parts of the globe, the reefs of the Territory are largely intact and represent the healthiest on earth. On land enormous colonies of sea birds abound; red footed boobies, brown boobies, sooty terns and many others. And in the forests that cover the island, there lives the coconut crab - the biggest terrestrial invertebrate alive today.

Seychelles: 10 Tips to Plan Your Trip Better

AJAY JAIN
Planning a trip to the Seychelles? Here are 10 tips that may come in handy:
#1 Getting There
Located in the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles are served by their national carrier and only a few other airlines. It may take an extra hop or two, but you get there.
#2 Visa on Arrival - and it’s FREEFinally a country has the sense to offer visa on arrival, and not charge any fee. I still can’t figure why countries charge high amounts for visas - the money saved is likely to be spent in the country anyway and would encourage more travellers.
#3 Currency
The local currency is the Seychelles Rupee, and pegged at about 13 Rupees to a US dollar. The exchange rate is more or less no matter where you change money. However, US Dollars and Euros widely accepted everywhere.
#4 Getting Around...

Mauritius in the Indian Ocean is know for its sparkling crystal and turquoise waters. The contrast of colours, cultures and tastes makes the island a location for an unforgettable holiday. Mauritius offers the opportunity to unparalleled luxury, a level of refinement that is ahead of many other other tropical holiday destinations. Mauritius was named after DutchPrince Maurice Van Nassau.
Mauritius' white beaches are protected by a coral reef barrier that encircles almost all of the coastline, with the exception of the southern end, where it falls away and where wilder waters and dramatic cliffs can be observed. From the northern plains, the land rises to a central plateau dotted by lakes and extinct volcanic craters. A few uninhabited islets area are scattered around the main island.
Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius, was founded by the French governor and colonist Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais in 1735. Situated on the north-west coast, Port Louis is the business and administrative capital of Mauritius. Packed with office-workers during the day, it quickly quietens down after office-hours allowing visitors to enjoy a night out along the famous Caudan Waterfront.
The south reveals a dramatically different landscape from the rest of the island: one typified by high cliffs in places that are battered by waves. These are created where the protective barrier of coral reef that surrounds Mauritius falls away on the seabed, so leaving the coastline exposed to a punishing Indian Ocean. But the south is not singularly about cliffs and rough waters. Further round the coastline, heading westwards, are an array of beautiful beaches and top-rate hotels and resorts, in up-and-coming areas such as Bel Ombre.
The eastern coastline of Mauritius is comprised of exquisite coves and emerald lagoons, permanently enhanced by a cool sea breeze: life goes by at a slow pace in the east whether you're a member of the fishing community or a holidaymaker. Situated between the mountains and the sea, the east is characterised by charming little villages with poetic names like PetiteJulie, Mare d'Australia and Queen Victoria. It also plays home to some of the country's best beaches, including Belle Mare, where you will want to spend hours basking in the sun, glorying in the sight of the long stretch of white sand.
To the west and south west of Mauritius off Tamarin Bay or Flic en Flac, heading in the direction of Île aux Benitiers, you can see the dolphins that come to these waters to rest and breed. The Morne Mountain, with its historical links to slavery, can also be found in this region --as well as some fine hotels known for their wide choice of watersports. Slightly inland, in the hills around Chamarel, is the rum distillery that bears the name of the village. Here, you can learn about rum production and taste some of the delightful produce.
Inland & Central Plateau of Mauritius is the 'highlands' where you will discover the island's four other major towns. In Quatre Bornes, head for the local market if you want to do some bargain-hunting. In Curepipe, where it is generally cooler than elsewhere on the island, try visiting the botanical gardens. In the early evening the gardens of the Plaza -- the municipal theatre of the town of Rose Hill -- fill up with families who come to relax and enjoy an ice--cream. This is a heart-warming sight definitely worth beholding. Vacoas, meanwhile, is most renowned for its Gymkhana GolfClub the oldest in the southern hemisphere.

Mauritius in the Indian Ocean is know for its sparkling crystal and turquoise waters. The contrast of colours, cultures and tastes makes the island a location for an unforgettable holiday. Mauritius offers the opportunity to unparalleled luxury, a level of refinement that is ahead of many other other tropical holiday destinations. Mauritius was named after DutchPrince Maurice Van Nassau.
Mauritius' white beaches are protected by a coral reef barrier that encircles almost all of the coastline, with the exception of the southern end, where it falls away and where wilder waters and dramatic cliffs can be observed. From the northern plains, the land rises to a central plateau dotted by lakes and extinct volcanic craters. A few uninhabited islets area are scattered around the main island.
Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius, was founded by the French governor and colonist Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais in 1735. Situated on the north-west coast, Port Louis is the business and administrative capital of Mauritius. Packed with office-workers during the day, it quickly quietens down after office-hours allowing visitors to enjoy a night out along the famous Caudan Waterfront.
The south reveals a dramatically different landscape from the rest of the island: one typified by high cliffs in places that are battered by waves. These are created where the protective barrier of coral reef that surrounds Mauritius falls away on the seabed, so leaving the coastline exposed to a punishing Indian Ocean. But the south is not singularly about cliffs and rough waters. Further round the coastline, heading westwards, are an array of beautiful beaches and top-rate hotels and resorts, in up-and-coming areas such as Bel Ombre.
The eastern coastline of Mauritius is comprised of exquisite coves and emerald lagoons, permanently enhanced by a cool sea breeze: life goes by at a slow pace in the east whether you're a member of the fishing community or a holidaymaker. Situated between the mountains and the sea, the east is characterised by charming little villages with poetic names like PetiteJulie, Mare d'Australia and Queen Victoria. It also plays home to some of the country's best beaches, including Belle Mare, where you will want to spend hours basking in the sun, glorying in the sight of the long stretch of white sand.
To the west and south west of Mauritius off Tamarin Bay or Flic en Flac, heading in the direction of Île aux Benitiers, you can see the dolphins that come to these waters to rest and breed. The Morne Mountain, with its historical links to slavery, can also be found in this region --as well as some fine hotels known for their wide choice of watersports. Slightly inland, in the hills around Chamarel, is the rum distillery that bears the name of the village. Here, you can learn about rum production and taste some of the delightful produce.

India is the largest country in the Indian Subcontinent and shares borders with Pakistan to the west, China and Nepal to the north, Bhutan to the north-east, and Bangladesh and Myanmar to the east. Sri Lanka lies to the south, Maldives to the south-west and Indonesia to the south-east of India in the Indian Ocean.
India is the seventh largest country in the world by area and, with over a billion people, is second only to China in population, although its much higher birthrate makes it likely to reach pole position in less than ten years.
It is an extremely diverse country, with vast differences in geography, climate, culture, language and ethnicity across its expanse, and prides itself on being the largest democracy on Earth.

Cape Town sits on South Africa’sCape Peninsula, where the waters of the Atlantic and IndianOceans converge.
Begin your adventure at The Castle of Good Hope, the centerpoint from which the city grew. Nearby you’ll find Company’s Garden, the Parliament Building, and the South African Museum.
Don’t miss the District Six Museum, which gives voice to the 60,000 non-white residents who saw their vibrant multi-racial neighborhood flattened during the darkest days of the Apartheid era.
One neighborhood that was spared from apartheid’s wrecking ball is Bo-Kaap, where traditional Cape Malay culture continues amid the row houses of this colorful hillside suburb.
Visit the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, and explore attractions such as Two Oceans Aquarium. The waterfront is also the gateway to one of the world’s most infamous prisons, Robben Island.
Table Mountain is Cape Town’s most beloved landmark. From the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, take a walking trail up the mountain, or take the Cableway for the spectacular ride to the viewing area.
Cape Town is one of the world’s great beach cities. From Green Point, the site of Cape Town’s futuristic stadium, follow the coast and discover one incredible beach after another.
Cape Town’s riches don’t end with its beaches, it’s also blessed with some of the best wine country in the world. After touring the acclaimed wineries of Paarl and Stellenbosch, head up Franschhoek Pass and wander hillsides filled with Proteas.
In local tradition, the Protea represents transformation, courage and hope. Cape Town is a city which shares the same soil, so it’s not surprising that it embodies those same qualities too.

Socotra, a group of islands in the Indian Ocean has been a secluded territory for decades.
The island is about 250 kilometres from Somalia and approximately 340 kilometres from the mainland of Yemen.
Presently it is a part of the Republic of Yemen and due to its harsh weather conditions every element on the island is distinctive in itself.
It is believed that the name of the island originated from Sanskrit which means “blissful island.”
It is often regarded as the “lost world” and houses some of the most unique flora and fauna found on this planet.
It is believed that the group of islands got separated from the African Mainland about 6 or 7 million years ago.
With more discoveries and exploration taking place, remarkable facts about this place has been revealed over the past couple of decades.
Interesting Facts About Socotra
It is compared to the Galapagos Islands as it features more than 800 rare species of flora and fauna. It is believed that 1/3rd of these are found nowhere on the planet.

Planning a trip to the Seychelles? Here are 10 tips that may come in handy:
#1 Getting There
Located in the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles are served by their national carrier and only a few other airlines. It may take an extra hop or two, but you get there.
#2 Visa on Arrival - and it’s FREEFinally a country has the sense to offer visa on arrival, and not charge any fee. I still can’t figure why countries charge high amounts for visas - the money saved is likely to be spent in the country anyway and would encourage more travellers.
#3 Currency
The local currency is the Seychelles Rupee, and pegged at about 13 Rupees to a US dollar. The exchange rate is more or less no matter where you change money. However, US Dollars and Euros widely accepted everywhere.
#4 Getting Around
Taxis can be a little expensive, but you can rent cars starting at about 40 Euros a day. You also have the options to rent motorcycles, bicycles, boats and even an ox cart. There are limited public buses on main islands like Mahe.
#5 Accommodation
There is an option for all budgets - especially those looking at mid to luxury segments. Pick up a self-catering apartment or villa starting at a hundred Euros usually.
#6 Plan Activities
There are a wide range of activities that you can book with local operators, even at the last minute. Prices are quite similar, and most offer a high quality of service.
#7 Pack for Summers
Temperatures range from 30-32 C (86-90 F) all year round, so pack accordingly. It can be quite humid - you may want to shower more than once a day. Do carry sun protection, hats, shades etc. at all times.
#8 Buy local SIM for data and calls
Pick one when you land to stay connected through your stay.
#9 Don’t WorryAbout SafetyCrime and thefts are almost unknown in Seychelles - you will rarely see any cops around. You will always feel safe there.
#10 Enjoy the Food
Seychelles are a delight for foodies - there is something for everyone. And usually with views of the seas and mountains while you eat.

Lucky you were born that far away so
We could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten Million ways to love somebody
Le ro lo le lo le, Le ro lo le lo le
Can't you see
I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Lyrics:
Lucky you were born that far away so
We could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten Million ways to love somebody
Le ro lo le lo le, Le ro lo le lo le
Can't you see
I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Protecting the Environment of the British Indian Ocean Territory

The wildlife and environment of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) are exceptional. The Territory has the greatest marine biodiversity in the UK and its Overseas Territories, as well as some of the cleanest seas and healthiest reef systems in the world. BIOT is home to the world’s biggest arthropod, the coconut crab, which can reach up to one metre across, with densities on Diego Garcia amongst the highest globally. The outer islands and atolls are colonized by internationally important numbers of seabirds, with many thousands of pairs of sooty terns, brown boobies and red-footed boobies regularly breeding there. Endemic species of coral and reef fish inhabit the c. 4,000 km² of shallow coral reefs, which also support over six times the amount of fish that are found on any other Ind...

Special Report - Indian Ocean: Battle for Supremacy

There is a perceived threat from China, not just on the LAC and international border, but also in the Indian Ocean. This has been confirmed by the Defence Ministry in a report. China continues to extend its footprint in India's immediate neighbourhood and India is not very pleased. On this special report, we’ll take a look at the battle of supremacy in the Indian Ocean.

An Entire Atoll To Ourselves In The Indian Ocean- Sailing SV Delos Ep. 88

Sailing 1,500 miles from CocosKeeling we make landfall in the remote, exotic paradise that is CHAGOS!!! We quickly discover that the entire atoll is completely deserted and we have the whole place to ourselves. About a dozen islands at our disposal! We cross through the shallow pass into the protected lagoon and begin exploring. We discover a wrecked catamaran on the beach and have some wicked-cool walks in the jungle where we discover all sorts of cool native wildlife including massive coconut crabs.

Secrets of Shipwreck Documentary || Vanishing Ships of WWII in the Indian Ocean | Battle o

The Indian Ocean - Retrieving History To Build A Future

The film likens the oceans to a highway that connect people, culture and communities. New initiatives have been taken to build bridges of co-operation based on historical ties. The Indian Ocean forms the eastern boundary of the African continent reaching towards the Middle East, washing up to the shores of the Indian subcontinent, and further linking up with the South China Sea. The Indian Ocean is the lifeline of the world's trade and economy and has been so for many decades. The film explores its role in connecting diverse culture and tradition and exchanging technology and ideas. The present day situation of the shores and the ocean is further explored in relation to trade and commerce, and the formation of the Indian Ocean Rim Association for regional co-operation.

The wildlife and environment of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) are exceptional. The Territory has the greatest marine biodiversity in the UK and its Overseas Territories, as well as some of the cleanest seas and healthiest reef systems in the world. BIOT is home to the world’s biggest arthropod, the coconut crab, which can reach up to one metre across, with densities on Diego Garcia amongst the highest globally. The outer islands and atolls are colonized by internationally important numbers of seabirds, with many thousands of pairs of sooty terns, brown boobies and red-footed boobies regularly breeding there. Endemic species of coral and reef fish inhabit the c. 4,000 km² of shallow coral reefs, which also support over six times the amount of fish that are found on any other Indian Ocean reef.
This film is aimed at those working in or transiting through the British Indian Ocean Territory. In addition to showing the natural treasures of BIOT it shows and how those in the Territory can help protect and preserve the environment.
This project was made possible with funding from the EU BEST initiative, and is aimed at raising awareness on protecting species and habitats in BIOT.
BEST is a voluntary scheme for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in EU Outermost Regions and Overseas Countries and Territories. The BEST initiative seeks to promote the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of ecosystem services including ecosystem-based approaches to climate change adaptation and mitigation in the EU outermost regions and overseas countries and territories.

#1903: MarineLinksMI-3 Mycroft Red SwitchHack to Serco Free Flight Boeing, Inmarsat Black HatTraphttp://www.abeldanger.net/2014/03/1903-marine-links-mi-3-mycroft-red.htmlPlum City -- (AbelDanger.net). United States MarineField McConnell has linked his erstwhile colleagues' hack of the Red Switch Network, allegedly procured by Nicholas 'Mycroft' Soames in 1978 for the Master Innholders and the MI-3 Innholders Livery Company, to Serco director Maureen Baginski's choice of Free Flight hijack maneuvers for the MH 370 Boeing aircraft which have apparently been used in a black hat ping trap for the agents of Inmarsat operations in the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) of Diego Garcia.
McConnell recognizes Mycroft Warrants as writs issued by a competent but blackmailed or extorted officer, usually a judge or magistrate, who permits otherwise illegal acts (spoliation of evidence; ultra vires authorisation of kidnaps; spread bet body-bag counts; bypassing autopsies to conceal murder-for-hire and placing blackmailed pedophiles in decoy triage teams) and affords the person executing the writ protection from damages if the act is performed.
MI-3 = KristineMarcy (sister) + Norman Inkster + Interpol + Intrepid (William Stephenson)
McConnell claims Serco root companies extorted then Prince of Wales (Bullingdon alumnus, later Edward VII) to issue Mycroft warrants to a telegraph-betting center in London'sLangham Hotel -- an alleged pedophile honeypot used to entrap and blackmail MI-3 Innholders' guests and now a Serco virtual war room to guide and synchronize global deployments of Zigbee kidnap and contract-hit teams. (cf. Ian Fleming's TargetForce unit -- a.k.a. T-Force -- a lightly armed and highly mobile unit, tasked with capturing Nazi scientific and technical military material).
McConnell claims that after the 1979-1995 Unabomb campaign, Baginski and Soames, a former personal assistant to the late chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Mark Hatfield, hired former Serco Aerospace Operations Director, Gordon McMillan, to hack the Red Switch Network in support of the MI-3 Innholders' Free Flight hijack maneuvers of 9/11 and the Inmarsat-pinged Boeing 777-200 of MH 370 on March 8, 2014.
McConnell claims that erstwhile colleagues in the Marine Corps Intelligence Activity (MCIA) have been alerted to decades of Red Switch hacking by Baginski and Soames -- a former Defence Minister under Langham habitué John Major -- and have now structured a black hat trap for MI-3 Innholders and Inmarsat pingers to be triggered when MH 370 is produced.

Ten Hours of the Territorial Anthem of the British Indian Ocean Territory

For decades residents of Reunion, a small FrenchTerritory in the middle of the Indian Ocean, lived in relative harmony with the surrounding ocean and its inhabitants. However, since 2011, a rise in shark attacks has forced many to come to terms with the spike in fatal encounters with sharks and turn to science to address this unexplained phenomenon
In the full length documentary of "Surrounded: Island of the Sharks", Motherboard watches the full saga unfold.

The Indian Ocean forms the eastern boundary of the African continent reaching towards the Middle East, washing up to the shores of the Indian subcontinent, and further linking up with the South China Sea. The Indian Ocean is the lifeline of the world's trade and economy and has been so for many decades. The film explores its role in connecting diverse culture and tradition and exchanging technology and ideas. The present day situation of the shores and the ocean is further explored in relation to trade and commerce, and the formation of the Indian Ocean Rim Association for regional co-operation.

This tells a story literally 'hidden from history'. In the1960s and 70s, British governments, conspiring with American officials, tricked into leaving, then expelled the entire population of the Chagos islands in the Indian Ocean. The aim was to give the principal island of this Crown Colony, Diego Garcia, to the Americans who wanted it as a major military base. Indeed, from Diego Garcia US planes have since bombed Afghanistan and Iraq. The story is told by islanders who were dumped in the slums of Mauritius and in the words of the British officials who left a 'paper trail' of what the International Criminal Court now describes as 'a crime against humanity' .
______________________________________________________________________
'Stealing A Nation' (2004) is an extraordinary film about the plight of the Chagos Islands, whose indigenous population was secretly and brutally expelled by British Governments in the late 1960s and early 1970s to make way for an American military base. The tragedy, which falls within the remit of the International Criminal Court as "a crime against humanity", is told by Islanders who were dumped in the slums of Mauritius and by British officials who left behind a damning trail of Foreign Office documents.
Before the Americans came, more than 2,000 people lived on the islands in the Indian Ocean, many with roots back to the late 18th century. There were thriving villages, a school, a hospital, a church, a railway and an undisturbed way of life. The islands were, and still are, a British crown colony. In the 1960s, the government of Harold Wilson struck a secret deal with the United States to hand over the main island of Diego Garcia. The Americans demanded that the surrounding islands be "swept" and "sanitized". Unknown to Parliament and to the US Congress and in breach of the United Nations Charter, the British Government plotted with Washington to expel the entire population.
Today, the main island of Diego Garcia is America's largest military base in the world, outside the US. There are more than 4,000 troops, two bomber runways, thirty warships and a satellite spy station. The Pentagon calls it an "indispensable platform" for policing the world. It was used as a launch pad for the invasions of both Afghanistan and Iraq.
The truth about the removal of the Chagossians and the Whitehall conspiracy to deny there was an indigenous population did not emerge for another twenty years, when files were unearthed at the Public Record Office, in Kew, by the historian Mark Curtis, John Pilger and lawyers for the former inhabitants of the coral archipelago, who were campaigning for a return to their homeland.
In June 2004, shortly before Stealing a Nation’s television screening, the British Government had issued an order-in-council, a royal decree using archaic powers invested in the Queen, bypassing Parliament and the High Court, to ban the Islanders from ever returning home. "The Queen rubber-stamps what in many cases politicians know they can’t get away with democratically," said Pilger. "Dictators do this, but without the quaint ritual."
In May 2006, the High Court finally ruled that the Chagossians were entitled to return to their homeland. However, in the summer of 2008, David Miliband and the Foreign Office began another appeal, to the Law Lords, against the High Court’s judgements. They found in favour of the Government.
In April 2010, the British Government established a marine nature reserve around the Chagos Islands. Several months later, WikiLeaks published a US Embassy diplomatic cable from 2009 which read as follows: "Establishing a marine reserve might indeed, as the FCO's [Colin] Roberts stated, be the most effective long-term way to prevent any of the Chagos Islands' former inhabitants or descendants from resettling in the [British Indian Ocean Territory]."
In the film, John Pilger concludes: "Why do we continue to allow our governments to treat people in small countries as either useful or expendable? Why do we accept specious reasons for the unacceptable? The High Court issued one of the most damning indictments of a British government. It said the secret expulsion of the Chagos Islanders was wrong. That judgement must be upheld and the people of a group of beautiful, once peaceful islands must be helped to go home and compensated fully and without delay for their suffering. Anything less diminishes the rest of us."
